Fears rise for elderly UK couple held in Afghanistan | AFP

The family of an elderly British couple who have been detained in Afghanistan for six months have begun to fear the worst, with concerns mounting over the health of Peter and Barbie Reynolds. "You have to remember their age, 80 and 76," says Jonathan Reynolds, one of the couple's four children, who last spoke to his parents on 15 June. Afghanistan's Taliban authorities have refused to detail why Peter and Barbie were arrested in February. Speaking to AFP via video link from Chicago, Jonathan explains that "they were told by the judge that they were not guilty of any crimes."
